German FM hails absence of extra sanctions on Qatar

BERLIN - 6 July 2017: German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel has lauded the decision of four Arab states (Egypt, the UAE, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia) not to impose more sanctions on Qatar for now, Sputnik reported Thursday.

"Today’s meeting of the coalition’s four in Cairo was no breakthrough but at least it did not lead to new sanctions," Gabriel said in a statement.

"In the current situation, it is a result that at least will not complicate the further process," he added.
